I was a Bronxite who loved the Dodgers, so I was crushed when they left. In June 1957 I visited my uncle who had moved to the LA area. There were strong rumors that the Dodgers were going to leave Brooklyn for LA, so I recall asking a local how he thought the Dodgers would do there. He said not too well as LA was basically a football town! The Rams were an NFL power, and UCLA and USC were among the top college football programs in the country.

How wrong can one be?
